Zach Inglis and Laura Sanders are the creators of HybridConf, a really awesome web design and development conference focusing on bridging the divide between the two disciplines. The next one is coming up very soon. It’s taking place in Stockholm on August 21st - 22nd and tickets are still available. Everyone's welcome!

Our industry is a great one. It’s filled with a lot of awesome people building a lot of inspiring things and constantly seeking out ways to express just how much they love doing so. We’ve had blogs and podcasts, and right now hosting conferences is the big thing. Ever more people are organizing conferences, arranging meetups and creating memorable experiences. It’s fantastic to see.

Nothing compares to a good conference: the atmosphere of being immersed in a crowd of people who share the same passion as you, the lessons you learn and advice you take in, and the friends you get to meet and the new ones you make. You leave a good conference re-energized — full of zeal for your job and bursting with fresh ideas.
